<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Text interface represents the textual content
(termed <a href="&xml-spec;#syntax"> character data </a> in XML) of
an Element or Attr . If there is no
markup inside an element's content, the text is contained in a
single object implementing the Text interface that
is the only child of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed
into a list of elements and Text nodes that form the
list of children of the element.
</p>
<p>
When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only
one Text node for each block of text. Users may
create adjacent Text nodes that represent the
contents of a given element without any intervening markup, but
should be aware that there is no way to represent the separations
between these nodes in XML or HTML, so they will not (in general)
persist between DOM editing sessions. The normalize()
method on Element merges any such adjacent
Text objects into a single node for each block of
text; this is recommended before employing operations that depend
on a particular document structure, such as navigation with
XPointers.
